Cataclysm Beta - Build 12759
A new build is being deployed on beta realms, just like any beta build, it will be painful, a lot of stuff will break, and I have no idea if I'll be able to give you all the content on the first day.

On the upside, Thrall is getting a new model. Stay tuned for changes!


Nemesis in Hyjal looks really nice too.


Guild Vendor Rewards
The Guild Vendor is here, a lot of items are placeholders but it should give you a pretty good idea of what it will offer.


And if you're wondering.



Loading Screens
Loading screens for each continent have been updated.




Spellbook - Mounts and Companion Pets
The Mounts & Companion Pets are now in the spellbook with a brand new interface.



Tol Barad
Tol Barad is open for testing, this is a new outdoor/PvP zone with a daily quest area for the faction controlling it. More on that later.





310% Speed Flying Mount
The new 310% Speed Flying Mount skill costs 5000 gold to train. People who already own a 310% flying mount get it for free.



Relic Slots Items
All classes items in the relic slot now have stats.



Masteries and Armor Specialization
Masteries and Armor Specializations are now available for testing.



Holy Power
The interface for the new Holy Power resource is here.



Video Settings
The Video Settings menu has been expanded, looks like we'll be able to tweak more things in Cataclysm.



Creature Damage Output Changes

We’d like to get your feedback about how combat feels with creatures in level 80-85 exterior zones, including spawn rates and numbers of creatures in specific locations in each zone. Please let us know if this feels adequately challenging, or if there is a little too much face rocking going on.

    * 60% speed land mounts
    * 100 % speed land mounts
    * 150 % speed flying mounts
    * 280 % speed flying mounts
    * 310 % speed flying mounts

    - search tool
    - favorite mount tab, up to 5 mounts (for example)
    * You could have a button that randomly casts one of those favorite mounts


    What about titles? I would like a better use interface that allows me to chose any of the titles I've earned, and not only 5.
    You can scroll through the titles you've earned.

    That's kind of the intent. You either A) Do all the holiday events for a year B) Outgear Ulduar with your guild (Which still takes SOME effort/organization) or you dump 5k.

    Once you have 310%(Plus Crusader or w/e), flying on a non-epic makes you want to rip your eyes out.

    You do realize there's a scroll bar on the right of that drop down list... right? (I have like 20 titles and can slide and see them all)

    You still need the 310% mount right, are they even "common" in cataclysm?

    The new loading screen for Northrend looks just wicked.

    Bolvar looks freaking good.

    whats up with the Tol Barad trinkets. Super weak use effects on them. Could this be a sign of trinkets moving back towards completely passive (a la blackwing layer trinkets)?

    I'm excited for the guild mounts and pets! I can't wait to see what the lion or (presumably) wolf for the Horde will look like, or what colour the snail is, or the mini phoenix pet or... have my phoenix mount!

    On one hand, I prefer this change over the old one, which was horrible to look through... but at same time, this just isn't enough.
    It was my understanding that they were going to change mount speeds to be based on your skill and not on the mount.
    With that in mind, it would make more sense to create a tabbed mount window, with tabs for [ground mount] & [flying mount].


    Drakavin: there's been changes/tooltip clarifications. Give Boub time to datamine the patch, dammit


    One other thing I noticed on my hunter: you now get Call Pet 1/2/3/4 (learned at different levels) which allows you to summon any of your active pets on the spot, without having to fumble around with stable. Only nitpick I have is that you need to dismiss your current pet first to call the other, but this is still an awesome change.

    I'm not sure what I think of Thrall's new model .... it's nice and all but it doesn't really look like how I thought he would have. At least he looks 100 times better than Garrosh so ... I am at least happy about that. Better yet he doesn't look like someone placed a brick in his chin like Varian.


    However I am extremely excited over the 310% speed flying, especially since a certain person told me it was going to be around 10k to 20k. >.>

    Best idea to date? Change the cheap RNG mechanics of the totem/relics/librams/whatever. I'm still stuck with the BiS ilvl 200 libram for my paladin because of these cheap tricks.

    Hooray for the new relic system!

    Garrosh really looks like the son of Grom Hellscream in the loading screen, awesome... why doesnt he look like that ingame?
